Lyrics
Goodbye Mary Lou, Goodbye Crackers
I?ve been a huge loser, all of my life
Slow four-legged friends kept me in lots of strife
The girl of my dreams chose to be Johnny?s wife
Goodbye Mary Lou, goodbye
Goodbye Mary Lou, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye Mary Lou, goodbye
Sweet Mary Lou I?ll die, yes I?ll die, yes I?ll die
Goodbye Mary Lou, goodbye
Like other Directors, our Chucka?s gone dead
Fleeced fifty mates of life savings and fled
I?ve nothing to live for, no roof and no bed
Goodbye Mary Lou, goodbye
Goodbye Mary Lou, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye Mary Lou, goodbye
Sweet Mary Lou I?ll die, yes I?ll die, yes I?ll die
Goodbye Mary Lou, goodbye
Goodbye Mary Lou, goodbye
